BANGKOK, Aug 29 (Xinhua): Thailand's Ministry of Public Health on Friday (Aug 28) said in a press briefing that it had already suggested the Thai government to temporarily suspend labour import from Myanmar until the latter is able to stem Covid-19 cases from further outbreak.

"It's quite worrying as Covid-19 cases are on the rise at our neighbouring country," said Sophon Iamsirithaworn, director of the ministry's Bureau of General Communicable Diseases, referring to Myanmar.
